The objectives of the geochemistry subtask are as follows:
1) Conduct monitoring and sampling of the shallow groundwater system in lower Puna to develop a baseline data base for the chemical and physical quality of the water prior to and during the planned development of the geothermal resource;
2) Provide independent analysis of geothermal fluids from all exploration wells that are drilled and tested during the commercial development of the geothermal resource;
3) Provide analyses of groundwater wells that are drilled in other areas of Hawaii where geothermal discharges are thought to exist in order to develop baseline data for the range of geothermal fluid compositions found in Hawaii."Sun, 31 Jan 1993 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/481771993-01-31T00:00:00ZNovak, Elizabeth A.An inventory survey at the site of the proposed Kilauea Middle East Rift Zone (KMERZ)http://hdl.handle.net/10524/48176
Abstract: "Archaeological Consultants of Hawaii, Inc. has conducted an inventory survey at the site of the proposed Kilauea Middle East Rift Zone (KMERZ), Well site #2, TMK: 1-2-10:3. An additional inventory survey was conducted to encompass a 1,000 foot buffer zone around the site of the proposed Well site #2. This proposed well site is located in the Wao Kele O Puna Forest, Island of Hawaii (see maps #1 and 2).
The subject property features an extremely rugged topography and an unusually thick vegetatative profile which combine to present some of the most difficult survey areas in the state. A thick mat of stony muck rests on what appears to be alternating a'a and pahoehoe and is covered with very dense uluhe, 'ie'ie, hapu'u, guava, ohi'a and a number of additional plants, vines and grasses. The reader may wish to refer to the numerous and recently completed botanical studies of this area for a more complete listing.
A variety of archaeological sites may be expected in the vast forest lands where True/Mid-Pacific Geothermal Venture will be conducting its geothermal exploration activities. Although the sites' distribution generally will be sparse and although most project activities may well miss the sites, it is important to have adequate plans to identify historic sites, so the sites can be avoided or appropriately mitigated. Special identification problems exist in forest lands, and for this reason an archaeological research design for archaeological survey methods was required under CDUA HA-1830 as part of an archaeological plan."Fri, 26 Oct 1990 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/481761990-10-26T00:00:00ZKennedy, JosephEvaluation of major dike-impounded ground-water reservoirs, island of Oahuhttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/48175
Abstract: "Ground-water reservoirs on Oahu store a very large but only approximately estimatable quantity of freshwater. These reservoirs include interconnected water bodies that are impounded by volcanic dikes or other geologic structures, and water bodies that are floating on saline ground water in dike-free Java flows in the flanks of the volcanoes. A significant amount of water is stored above sea level, to an altitude of at least 2,000 feet in the Waianae Range, but most is stored below sea level. The depths of freshwater storage below sea level range from a few feet to 1,000 feet or more in the dike-free lavas, and probably to several thousands of feet in the compartmented lavas between dikes. Other water bodies, smalI in comparison, are perched above and isolated from these interconnected bodies.
"This report is primarily concerned with high-head dike-impounded ground-water reservoirs that underlie interior mountainous areas where rainfall and subsequent recharge to ground water are the greatest. These reservoirs, owing to their upgradient positions, play a very important role in the recharge, storage, movement, and discharge of alI ground water on the island."; Includes bibliographical references (p. 135-139).; Prepared in cooperation with the Board of Water Supply, City and County of Honolulu.Thu, 01 Jan 1981 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/481751981-01-01T00:00:00ZTakasaki, Kiyoshi J.Environmental site assessment report : True Geothermal Energy Company drill site of geothermal well KA-1, Puna, Hawaiihttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/48174
Abstract: "Brewer Environmental Services (BES) was retained by True Geothermal Energy Company (True) to perform a modified environmental site assessment at the drilling site of True Geothermal Well KA-1 in Puna, Hawaii (Figure 1). True leased the drill site from Campbell Estate (the fee landowner) for the development of geothermal energy and began active geothermal well development in 1989. During 1991, True discontinued their well development operations and removed most of the drilling equipment and other appurtenance from the site.
"The objective of this modified environmental site assessment was to sample and evaluate the presence of hazardous substances that may be present aboveground and in the shallow subsurface soil at the site, as related to the past use and storage of equipment and materials used to drill and complete the well. This report presents the procedures and findings of the assessment and discusses the potential for significant
subsurface soil and/or groundwater impacts due to the past use of potentially hazardous substances at the site."Fri, 15 Dec 1995 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/481741995-12-15T00:00:00ZBrewer Environmental ServicesContinental Scientific Drilling Program : Department of Navyhttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/48173

Abstract: "The east rift zone of Kilauea is characterized by distinctive aeromagnetic anomalies. Broad magnetic lows flanking the rift zone have been interpreted as arising from rock whose magnetization has been lowered due to hydrothermal alteration. A string of magnetic highs, which lies on or near the active rift zone, has been attributed to intrusions that are interpreted to be more highly magnetic than the surrounding flows.
Little rock magnetic data have been available to constrain the magnetic models used in these studies. The purposes of this study are (1) to acquire rock magnetic data from rocks in and around the east rift zone of Kilauea, (2) to derive petrologic interpretations for observed variations in magnetic properties, and (3) to use these properties and interpretations to constrain
magnetic modeling."Tue, 17 Aug 1993 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/481721993-08-17T00:00:00ZRosenbaum, Joe; Reynolds, RichApplication for permit to drill proposed geothermal well Kapoho State 11 reserved lands, Kapoho, Puna, Hawaiihttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/48171

The specific aims of the project were to:
1 List the public health questions pertinent to the production of geothermal energy in the Puna region;
2 Create a reliable inventory of existing studies that addresses those public health concerns and that could serve as references for decision-makers; and

Abstract: "The economic feasibility of geothermal and other renewable energy developments can be greatly enhanced by the use of the excess power for other than conventional utility distribution. Proposed herein is the use of this energy for the development of fresh water supplies.
The basic concept presented here is to use the excess power 'whenever it becomes available to collect and pump fresh water to a reservoir at a sufficient elevation so that the water can be delivered to where it is needed through gravity flow. By installing a hydroelectric generating plant to harness the energy in the flowing water, electricity
con be generated at times when it is needed and its value is highest. This idea can be considered as an extension of the concept of a pump-storage system used widely throughout the country."Sun, 11 May 1986 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/481301986-05-11T00:00:00ZYoshiharaMaster plan for the Kahaualea Geothermal Projecthttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/48129

Abstract: "This report covers the period July I, 1993 - June 30, 1994.
Pursuant to Chapter 1960, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) established a consolidated permit application and review process.
Recognizing that there has been no application for any large-scale geothermal project for the State of Hawaii, Governor John Waihee on December 8, 1992 issued a policy statement stating that there is no such project under consideration by the State. DLNR staff and resources efforts have been appropriately utilized and actively involved in the monitoring and regulation of existing projects currently permitted to explore, develop and generate geothermal electricity exclusively for the Island of Hawaii.
Although these efforts relative to geothermal development activities on the Big Island of Hawaii did not involve any aspect of large scale development of geothermal power, the DLNR's activities have been consistent with the objectives and purpose of Chapter 1960, HRS as amended. The allocation of program resources and duties performed by staff have been fully utilized in the DLNR's geothermal resource management responsibilities."Mon, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/481281990-01-01T00:00:00ZDepartment of Land and Natural Resources, State of HawaiiPrehistoric and early historic land use in the Kilauea Middle East Rift Zone (KMERZ) and anticipated historic siteshttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/48127

Abstract: "The State of Hawaii started a geothermal exploration program, focuses in the Kilauea East Rift Zone of the Island, in the late 1960's. The urgent demand for alternate energy created by the global petroleum disruptions of the 1970's encouraged Federal agency energy agencies to join the Hawaii team to drill, on the first attempt, a successful deep well, and construct a 3 megawatt wellhead generator. The costs were high, especially for the generator, but his timely demonstration of a viable geothermal resource has encouraged private developers."; Permalink: https://www.geothermal-library.org/index.php?mode=pubs&action=view&record=1001262Thu, 01 Aug 1985 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/481261985-08-01T00:00:00ZLesperance, Gerald O.Terrestrial biological survey, Puna Geothermal Venture studies, Puna, Hawaiihttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/48125
Abstract: "Thermal Power Company (TPC) is conducting one of several environmental studies for Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV). PGV is investigating the feasibility of potential geothermal power plants on the PGV property.
A 1-mile radius area (approximately 2,010 acres) was surveyed for terrestrial plants and animals during January 1984. The data gathered during this field survey provides the basis for descriptions of the major biological components found within the study site as well as a comprehensive species' list.
No rare, threatened, or endangered species of plants were found on the proposed well and power plant sites. Little or no damage to the vegetation in the area is expected if an effective scurbber system is employed. However, a yearly monitoring program of the vegetation for toxic agents is recommended.
The endangered Hawaiian Hawk (Buteo solitarius) was observed near the proposed well and power plant sites. The hawks may nest in the forests on Pu'u Honua'ula near the KS-2 site. Further observations to determine the extant of hawk breeding near this area are recommended."Sun, 01 Apr 1984 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/481251984-04-01T00:00:00ZChar, Winona P.; Stemmermann, MaileHawaii geothermal assessment programhttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/48124

Abstract: "During each visit to the site after road and drill site clearing occurred, observations were made of the distribution of species colonizing all areas cleared during the process of geothermal development. The preclearing survey was made on Nov. 14, 1987, and post-clearing surveys were made on: July 9, 1989, December 16, 1989, January 13,1990, May 18,1990, June 9,1990, August 12, 1990, December 1, 1990, and February 2, 1991. A summary of these observations is provided in the table which follows. A total of 67 species and varieties of higher plants have been found colonizing cleared sites. Of these 49 are alien species, 2 are probably Polynesian introductions, 1 is either indigenous or a Polynesian introduction, 6 are indigenous and 9 are endemic to the Hawaiian islands. Methods of control of the alien species are currently being applied on an experimental basis, with due care taken to protect the native species and to encourage the expansion of the area occupied by natives.
There are several native species which have increased in abundance in these cleared areas. Most notable are mamaki (Pipturus albidus), "uki (Machaerina angustifolia and M. mariscoides ssp. meyeniit, and Pycreus polystachyos. These are species which often occur in disturbed areas early in succession. Mamaki is of special interest since it grows into a shrub, 10 feet or more tall, which casts dense shade that can inhibit the growth of alien species that might otherwise occupy the area. Efforts should be made to encourage this species, both by scattering seeds in areas where it is not growing thickly, and by controlling alien species which are growing near it and inhibiting its growth. The alien species which is competing most effectively is sourbush (Pluchea symphytifolia); this species should be controlled since it has increased in abundance in the cleared
areas, and it is the only alien species which has increased in these areas that is likely to persist and inhibit the recovery of native species.
Some of the alien species which were conspicuous immediately after clearing are annual species that are typical of the earliest stages of succession but are quickly shaded out and are now decreasing in numbers.
These include fireweed (Erechtites valerianifolia) and Crossocepha/um crepidioides, These species do not persist in closed canopy for est except in small numbers in areas disturbed by pigs, and they should continue to decrease as succession proceeds in the cleared areas.
The goal of the weed control program in these cleared areas should be to promote natural succession of native species as much as possible. To this end, general application of herbicides over large areas is not desirable, since widespread vegetation removal merely results in setting back the successional process to an earlier stage and providing further opportunity for invasion of alien species. Rather, herbicide use should be limited to spot applications on particular target species, or areas of particularly dense infestation of aliens."Fri, 01 Feb 1991 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/481231991-02-01T00:00:00ZLamoureux, Charles H.Annual report to the twenty-third legislature regular session of 2005 : geothermal and cable development activitieshttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/48122
Abstract: "This annual report is prepared pursuant to Section 1960-11 , Hawaii Revised Statutes, and covers the period July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004.
The Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) is responsible for the effective management of geothermal resources and its development, to protect the health and safety of the public and to ensure the continued viability of the resource for the future.
The Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) has no specific regulatory authority, however, through its planning and coordination of energy programs in the State, facilitates the commercial development of geothermal resources.
Currently, the Island of Hawaii is the only island benefiting from geothermal development. Power generation from geothermal energy began in May 1993 and currently provides more than 20% of the Big Island's power demands.
The Mineral Resources Program within DLNR was abolished in 1995 in response to budget reductions. Statutory regulatory and resource management responsibilities continue to be performed under other Departmental programs within the Engineering Division.
The current Administration will assess the geothermal program requirements and review existing policies for continued applicability."Mon, 01 Nov 2004 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/481222004-11-01T00:00:00ZDepartment of Land and Natural Resources, State of HawaiiAnnual report of the hydrology study of the geothermal projecthttp://hdl.handle.net/10524/48121
